GoodNovelChapter 246: Sensing the rising tension, Sarah stepped in. “Jake, please. Don't make a scene over me. I'm sure Miss Nixon regrets her actions. I'm willing to forgive her." Bria shot Sarah a venomous glare. She then struggled to break free from Jake's grip, bristling with indignation. "Mr. Reeves, I don't feel well. I need to rest. Let go of me!" Ewing coughed slightly before he said, his voice strained, “Mr. Reeves, this is a family squabble. It doesn't concern you." Jake froze, and a dim light flashed in his eyes. Finally, he released Bria's wrist. His eyes narrowed as he scanned Ewing and Bria, a cold suspicion settling in his gut.
A chilling idea struck Jake. Kallie was likely taken to be hiding amongst the Nixons. But how in the world could she end up with the Nixon family? The question hung heavy in the air, a seed of doubt Jake instantly regretted planting. Did Ewing have any idea about it? Panic gnawed at Jake's gut. He shouldn't have involved Ewing in this mess. Yet, back then, with his back against the wall, he saw no other way out.
Frustrated, Jake asked Sarah, who was still crying, to leave first.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Edgar led Sarah and disappeared into the throng, Jake pivoted to leave. But a blur of movement caught his eye. A woman was barreling through the crowd, desperation etched on her face.
The woman darted toward Ewing, skidding to a knee right in front of him. The sudden action silenced the murmuring crowd, all eyes fixated on the kneeling woman.
Jake whipped around, his jaw dropping in disbelief as he recognized the woman.
Bria's jaw dropped when she saw Kallie suddenly drop to her knees in front of Ewing. Ewing snapped out of it first. He instructed his men to take Tyrone back while he dealt with this mess.
Unable to speak, Kallie reached into her pocket and pulled out a note she had written beforehand. In the note, Kallie said she was a victim of human trafficking. She was brought to the Nixon family, and now she and her baby were in a terrible situation. She begged the Nixons to set her free. She couldn't take being locked up in their house anymore.
gvlnovlsis a world of wonder Kallie was gambling on everything. If she was lucky and there was at least one decent soul within the Nixon family, she might leave this place. Even if her plan failed, Kallie reasoned that the Nixons wouldn't dare deal with her in front of everyone. Bria had invited a huge crowd to this celebration, which unwittingly helped her.
On top of that, Kallie held on to the silver hope that sguests might be from the Brooks or Hayes families or connected with them, thus lending her a helping hand.
Originally, Kallie didn't plan to run out of the room. She had purposely given Bria the inferior gift. She had expected Bria to drive her out of the room and take the blame. Yet, Kallie clearly underestimated Bria. Bria might have acted arrogant and bossy, but she was also cunning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThankfully, Kallie had spent the past few days acting like a doormat. This trick fooled Bria's men into lowering their guard, allowing her to slip into the party.
Kallie's pleading contained cruel information. Lacking the ability to speak, she was pathetically trafficked into the Nixon family and later got locked up. Worse, she was pregnant. The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
"Oh my goodness! There's so much in rich families How can they be so cruel?
"I mean, seriously? Avalon has laws, doesn't it? How can anyone get away ow can with treating someone like this?"
